Home made ice cream! Who has the best recipes?
Vanity | 07/12/2014 | Myself

Posted on 07/12/2014 1:13:10 PM PDT by Wingy

Okay, the Russians have invaded Ukraine, Obama is probably playing golf, another few hundred "uninvited guests" have arrived at our Southern border, and Germany and Argentina are gearing up for The World Cup Final. My big concern, however, is finding the BEST recipe for my new 1.5 quart ice cream maker.

Freepers have the best knowledge base for questions like this, and I hope to pry a few family secret recipes from you (For the greater good) folks. I've asked around my family but no one bothers with home made any more. Any recipes are welcome, no matter the flavor. Thanks All!

I make Teaberry Ice Cream (It’s a PA thing). I don’t use heavy cream and instead use 4 cups half and half. Teaberry oil can be found online (don’t use much of any mint oil as it is usually VERY strong - 1/2 teaspoon usually does it). Any flavoring can be used - just add it at the end when you put the custard in the machine. Very good with good vanilla beans!

1 cup heavy cream

3 cups half-and-half cream

8 egg yolks

1 cup white sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

Pour the heavy cream and half-and-half cream into a heavy saucepan, place over medium-low heat, and heat until barely simmering, stirring frequently. Turn the heat down to low.
Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Repeat three times more, whisking thoroughly before adding each additional 1/2 cup of hot cream to the egg yolk mixture. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream, and whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and will coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Do not let mixture boil.
Pour the ice cream base into a bowl and allow to cool for about 20 minutes; place in refrigerator and chill overnight. The next day, pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Remove the ice cream, pack into a covered container, and freeze for 2 hours or overnight before serving.

If you want it pink, you'll need some pink food coloring as well.

put the cream on a fire in a casserole, first putting in a stick of Vanilla.
when near boiling take it off & pour it gently into the mixture of eggs & sugar.

MODERN VERSION (ADAPTED BY MARIE KIMBALL)
Beat the yolks of 6 eggs until thick and lemon colored. Add, gradually, 1 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil 1 quart of cream and pour slowly on the egg mixture. Put in top of double boiler and when it thickens, remove and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. When cool add 2 teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Freeze, as usual, with one part of salt to three parts of ice. Place in a mould, pack in ice and salt for several hours. For electric refrigerators, follow usual direction, but stir frequently.

I like your style. Been at politics myself all day and this is a lovely distraction!

We make HMIC every so often. It is too dangerous to have all the time.

Our favorite recipe is the common heavy cream and sugar variety; then adding real vanilla bean that has been warmed on the stove in a pan + slightly cracked malted milk balls + chocolate syrup + whipped cream - after the ice cream reaches soft-serve consistency.

The only other suggestion I have is to make Home made funnel cake and serve the ice cream over them while they’re hot, and cover with sundae toppings.

I just made myself hungry.

Looking forward to other recipes!

In the old days there was no recipe.”

You are so right. We made homemade ice cream every Sunday when I was growing up on the farm. Molly, my jersey cow, contributed the fresh cream, fresh eggs came from hens named Penny, Lucy and Matilda. Mother’s job was to put the ingredients together - nothing was cooked - and then to yell at my dad to make sure he remembered to be careful that he didn’t get any rock salt in the top while he cranked. Dad’s job was to get the ice, rock salt and gunny sacks to go on top of it all and then churn until the crank would no longer move. Mine was to provide some added weight to the freezer by sitting on the top and I always got to clean off the paddle once it was removed from the inside. Yummy memories.

When I had my own children I tried to recreate the ice cream recipe and got close but never quite right. Also tried making homemade noodles - the kind where you put some flour in a bowl, make a hole in the middle, add eggs, mix it together with your hands until just right, roll it out, cut, cook and eat. Mine were truly a disaster.

Home made ice cream! Who has the best recipes?

If I remember correctly, the ice cream recipes all begin, "Take two dozen egg yolks . . . ."

How about something for ON the ice cream?

Chocolate sauce:

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Put cocoa powder, sugar and water in small saucepan, heat to simmer while stirring gently for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add vanilla.

Thickens slightly as it cools, tastes like Hershey's commercial syrup.

Also great on pancakes!

My family used to make pineapple homemade ice cream 40 years ago. I think it was vanilla with lots of fresh cream and crushed pineapple. I don’t remember the exact recipe, but it was the bomb.
